The Kingdom of Fries 2 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 1.953 billion Fries 2ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 27.9%.

The all-consuming Fries 2ian economy, worth 202 trillion Frieses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,477 Frieses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The colors pink and purple are banned from military unit insignia, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Fries 2, a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Fries 2ian politicians, and shivering secretaries type letters under torrential downpours in open-roof offices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fries 2's national animal is the Potato, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Fries 2 is ranked 10,373^rd in the world and 1^st in The Fries for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 11,726.04 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
